His degrees X would be a good way to show changes over long periods of time by simply graphing the annual adjustments.

Wtf is going on with Dalton

It’s a logarithmic scale based on Kelvin, but with constants shoved in there so 0 and 100 would agree with Celsius.

I’m more confused about Galen. -4 to 4, 0 is “normal”? 50 c is “normal”? For what??
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
In Galen’s scale, the 0 point is 22 °C, an alright room temperature, but the others are described too vaguely for us to convert. It might also be nonlinear. See the explainxkcd.com article

Ohh ok thanks for that link! So it is non linear. But not even a consistent curve like log, just if less than zero some factor, if positive a different one. Yuck.
